This little dryer of mine... I'm gonna let it shine! LOL!
This is an awesome little dryer! Fits well on a corner of my counter-top. It is actually meant more for a counter or a shelf, hence the light weight & location of the control knob. Mind you, many of the reviewers complained about the overheat issue in which it shuts down for a short while in order to cool down. However, through my own experimentation I learned a neat trick. To beat the over-heat problem, alternate between hot & cold for every load. I have an Amazon Alexa unit that I use as a timer for all of my timer needs so it can be used for multiple timers all at once & you can even verbally assign labels to each timer so you know when the first half of the drying cycle (Hot) is done before switching to cool which will still dry the items but only with the residual heat & when you use this trick, you can keep the dryer going almost indefinitely If you ever need to keep drying A LOT of clothing! Ignore the idiotic sticker that says to clean filter once a week! - I am always finding a full lint trap after every other load. So always check after every two loads. As far as the difficulty in removal of the filter at the rear, I honestly do not see what all the fuss is about. Just let it cool for a few minutes... Usually when removing the clothing a few items at a time to fold them right there, is all the time it needs to cool enough to then remove the filter to then clean & put it back before the next load. The makers of this unit really should rewrite the sticker for USA residents because I don't know what amount of lint is shed over in china per load of laundry when it is drying in this unit but over here, as far as I have seen from most dryers, emptying the filter to prevent a fire, means checking it after every load if not every other load! IMPORTANT NOTE!! Moderate size loads dry more efficiently. DO NOT CRAM THE MACHINE WITH A FREAKIN HUGE LOAD OR OVERSTUFFED COMFORTER BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE FOREVER FOR EITHER TO DRY! IF you really want to resurrect your dry crusty old towels to restore them back to their former fluffiness, use two dryer sheets per load, not one. DO NOT BUY the additional filter for the end of the vent hose if you are venting to the indoors because it is really just a waste of money. Just use the clamp provided in the install kit to place an old sock over the end & then tighten the clamp. MAKE SURE that there aren't any holes in the sock & yes, it not only freshens the stale air of the home, it also aids in warming my small home.
